Machine emotion

A feeling-thinking machine has been designed using the mammalian brain as a model and current psychobiology concepts as a guide. The machine has been successfully run as a computer simulation. It mimics a primitive organism with eight functional brain centers. They are the reticular ascending substance (RAS), the amygdala, the cingulate gyrus, the medial forebrain bundle, the hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, and the neocortex.<
